Actress Maria Bello celebrates having a midlife crisis, says she's 'crossed over'

Maria Bello, 56, is not worried about aging. Bello revealed that she has "more peace" than she's ever had after taking a two-year social media break.

"I never meant to take a pause, but the pause took me first," Bello told People magazine. "I started menopause at the beginning of COVID, and two years into it I felt like I was just going to die." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

She continued, "I had the opportunity to move to Paris with Dominique [Crenn, her fiancée], and I said, ‘Stop. Just pause.’ I paused my social media, traveling, some work... I realized a crisis is actually a gift to us at midlife, to take a step back, to reevaluate. So I went back on social media to talk about my findings. I feel more peace than I’ve ever had."
